Dread Pirate Roberts

I heard "The President issued an Executive Order" this afternoon. [View all]

I was driving and the news station announced the President had signed an executive order and my first reaction was "Oh God, what the Fuck now?". Then they said it was about re-uniting children with their parents and I realized, oh yeah, that's right, Biden is the President. It's going to take me a long time to get over the past four years-it's not like writing 2020 instead of 2021 on checks. I'll get used to the fact Biden is President and craziness isn't just a tweet away. I'm sure the involuntary twitches will stop soon too.
